Tilt a Whirl

You guys...I am evolving as an artist. 

After a year of the jump shot craze, I have moved on to my new favorite. 

The twirl shot. 

Below is a montage of poor sunday school children and missionaries forced to twirl at my command. 

Thanks for being good sports, people! 

The last one is a jumping twirl shot. It's the next level of awesome. 

Who knows where this new direction will take us. Probably fame and fortune. 

Or torture for my faithful blog readers.

Might as well JUMP

In going through all my sister missionary pictures and organizing, I realized I had about a million jump shots. 

Which kind of calls for a JUMP SHOT MONTAGE!

Let's do this!!

I can't help falling...

Fall is happiness for me. 

 I am decorating my office. 

 Super classy, as always. 

 Hanging out with wild ginger cats. 

 Taking a trillion sunset pictures. 

 Refusing to let my nephew turn into a TEENAGER next month. 

 And more sunsets. 

And here is one that won't be a teen for a little while still. But she has got enough sass for 10 teenagers :) 

This, work, and some random baking are my life right now. 

I am happy.

I remember you said...

So...the last few months have consisted of the following....

 Obsessing over various illness...I have had ear infections in BOTH ears.

(My mom said I have been "holding the family hostage with my ear issues") ") 

. Do you know how hard it is to be a therapist when you can't hear??

 (Actually not that hard...I just do my usual..."Uh-huh....well, I told you not to date bad boys...") 

 Hanging out with the sisters and forcing them into awkward photo shoots.

 This is Sister Aguilar. 

She is originally from Guatemala (where my trainer Hermana Monterroso was from!) and she scares me like Monterrroso did. 

Word of advice...do NOT go up against a Guatemalan woman when death (or anything really) is on the line! 

 Still taking strange selfies. 

This was the second hour of church, where I sat outside and prepared my lesson for the third hour. 

Because I plan ahead like that. 

So.... other than illness, selfies, hanging out with missionaries and my cat...my life has been less than thrilling.

 However..it is almost OFFICIALLY fall and my pumpkin carving mania is starting to emerge.

 My theme this year is going to be carving obscure movie quotes into pumpkins. 

It's going to be EPIC!

Talk to you soon, devils!

Hasta Ver

I feel dumb starting every post this way but I really haven't given up blogging. 

I just need to get back into the habit. 

I need to get back into the habit with a lot of things in my life. 

But it's ALMOST fall people...it's just a little bit away....

Which means I can be happy again. 

Hang in there.
